Evaluation of the Co-Evolution and Genetic Diversity of the Stag-Horned Hydrocoral and its Hermit Crab Host From the Pacific and Gulf of California
(2017-04-24)
The aim of this project was to investigate the evolution and genetic diversity of populations of the hydrozoan Janaria mirabilis (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa: Hydractiniidae) and its hermit crab host Manucomplanus varians (Crustacea: ...
Molecular, Genetic, and Biochemical Analysis of the Phikt Disruptin: A New Class of Lysis Proteins
(2019-05-03)
Phages are the viruses of bacteria. To complete the infection cycle, phages produce lysis proteins to overcome the bacterial cell envelope. The final barrier in Gram-negative hosts is the outer membrane (OM). We have ...
Hydromedusae Blooms and Seasonal Biodiversity Changes in Galveston Bay
(2017-04-27)
Jellyfish of the class Hydrozoa (phylum Cnidaria) in the Gulf of Mexico are greatly understudied despite the fact that they are top predator and may have a significant ecological impact on fisheries and marine plankton in ...
